Otti hails Osun election as testament to Nigeria’s democratic maturity

Abia State Governor Alex Otti has applauded Osun Governor Ademola Adeleke and his constituents for the successful and peaceful gubernatorial election recently held in the southwestern Nigerian state. In a statement signed by Otti, the Abia governor highlighted the orderly manner in which the people of Osun exercised their voting rights, and the peaceful environment maintained during and after the election, despite some observed irregularities.

Otti credited the Independent National Electoral Commission for their professionalism, security agencies for maintaining a safe environment, and all stakeholders for their efforts to ensure a credible and transparent process. He emphasized that the successful election bolsters democratic governance in Nigeria and reinforces the voice of the people in choosing their leaders.

Otti urged Adeleke to focus on delivering people-centered governance that enhances the lives of Osun residents, creates opportunities, and sustains peace and development across the state. As an Abia native, Otti expressed solidarity with Adeleke and his state in building stronger institutions and delivering the dividends of democracy to the people.
